Recognized
occasionally.
Six awards across five years; we don't chase recognition. The press tends to come through clients who let writers visit. AIA New England Honor Award 2025 for the Cambridge Brownstone; Builder of the Year 2024 for the studio. Each is here because someone else thought to nominate it.

Press,
through clients.
Most press features come because a client agreed to host a writer. We don't pitch publications. The five features here all begin with a homeowner saying yes; the studio shows up only after.
